حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا، مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَعُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَائِمٌ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَيَّةُ سَاعَةٍ هَذِهِ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ انْقَلَبْتُ مِنْ السُّوقِ فَسَمِعْتُ النِّدَاءَ فَمَا زِدْتُ عَلَى أَنْ تَوَضَّأْتُ فَأَقْبَلْتُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ الْوُضُوءُ أَيْضًا وَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يَأْمُرُنَا بِالْغُسْلِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of performing ghusl before attending the weekly congregational prayer on Fridays. It was narrated from Salim bin 'Abdullah bin 'Umar from his father that one of the companions of Prophet Muhammad entered the mosque one Friday when Umar bin al-Khattab was standing and addressing the people. Umar asked him what time it was, to which he replied that he had just done wudoo after hearing the call to prayer and came straight to mosque. Umar then reminded him that Prophet Muhammad used to enjoin them to do ghusl before coming for prayers on Fridays, emphasizing its importance in Islam.
